Michael Jackson? I ...
Views: 952(1 vote) - WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW? - by Submitted on Jun 23, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloIt is shocking how little we know. How can anyone presume to tell anyone else what they should know?

Views: 743 - RAISING YOUR VIBRATION - by Submitted on Jun 06, 2019 from Todd Puntolillo“Creating” (allowing) miracles requires willingness and faith; however, I must confess, most miracles have their roots in desperation. Let’s be real. We spin around, not thinking clearly so much of the time. If we don’t “hit the wall,” we don’t work on improving things. That method doesn’t ...

Views: 829 - What Are Your Priorities? - by Submitted on Jun 02, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloFor many, the need to be right and look good far exceeds the need to learn about, express and find peace and happiness. Change is sought by most through drugs, injections, surgery, flashing cash, driving a hot car or some other kind of instant attractor that might yield the gratification they ...
Views: 734(1 vote) - Mystical Secrets and You - by Submitted on Jun 01, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloSo then, what are Mystical Secrets? Metaphysics, meaning beyond the physical senses, covers a lot more territory than I can possibly cover in any ten books. I will only be covering the most practical of these aspects. Merriam Webster gives us this definition of mystical: Having a spiritual ...
Views: 929 - Wealth and the REAL Secret - by Submitted on May 30, 2019 from Todd Puntolillo“Wealth is what interests most people if they are beyond survival mode. ‘How do I secure wealth?’ they ask. Many have seen or read ‘The Secret’ and ‘tried out’ the tools but most gave up when they didn’t get what they wanted right away. I ask you, ‘Why is it that most lottery winners are broke ...

Views: 653 - Love Relationships and You - by Submitted on May 29, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloBack in the 1970s, when I read Wayne Dyer’s “Your Erroneous Zones,” I was shocked to learn what neuroses looked like and how many of them I had been taught to accept as “normal.” By learning which of my behaviors were neurotic, I was able to start the long project of upgrading them to healthy ...
Views: 746 - My Love Relationship - A Personal Story - by Submitted on May 28, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloMy friend Tina once told me: An open heart will bring two people together, though they are separated by time and space; a closed heart will keep people from knowing each other, even while gazing into each other’s eyes.

Views: 857(1 vote) - Love Relationships: Romantic Love and The Mirror - by Submitted on May 27, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloEveryone in your life is there to mirror you... and vice versa.

How can you say that?” Often they can’t see this although it is literally true. This is quite ...
Views: 782 - Relationships Part Two - by Submitted on May 26, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloEvery day you are choosing whether or not to let your feelings about something someone said or did eat you up— perhaps literally!

Views: 980 - We Can Change the World! - by Submitted on May 24, 2019 from Todd PuntolilloIf I were given the power to cure one illness that haunts mankind, I would pass up cancer, breeze by AIDS, and overlook heart disease because curing the malady I have in mind might help cure the others as a side effect.
